No, we do not intend to move. If anyone
does think so in consequence of the great
departure of bundles from our store on Sat-
urday. The bundles did not belong to US,
but to our customers. They contained suits
and overcoats. In fact, the outward move
ment was only the homeward march, quick
step of the Coat Brigade.
Great weather for coat buyers, and great
coat opportunities for every buying man and
